Decarbonization Strategy

We build Actionable Decarbonization Strategies
for your Sustainability Goals

Faced with regulatory and stakeholder pressure organizations of every size and industry are rising to the challenge to do their part to combat climate change. While no one company is alike and each is at a different stage of the journey, key commitments are common and realizing them requires a deep understanding of global market and policy conditions, timely and accurate carbon emissions data across all scopes, and an evaluation of the levers available to establish and achieve your decarbonization objectives.

Gain data-driven insights.

Gather available reports, figures, and resources to develop a data-driven emissions inventory informed by industry best practices, aligned to your current conditions, and set toward a scenario-based future.

Scope 1

Greenhouse gas emissions from sources you own or control.

Possible solutions:

Burn less carbon by using renewable fuels.
Combat climate change by switching to electric vehicles or installing charging equipment.
Account for the emissions you can’t reduce with offsets.

Scope 2

Greenhouse gas emissions created from the generation of the electricity, heat or steam you purchase (but you don’t own the generating equipment).

Possible solutions:

Generate your own clean energy with onsite solar.
Procure renewable energy with Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and virtual Power
Purchase Agreements (vPPAs).
Showcase your commitment to renewable energy with Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs or RECs).

Scope 3

Greenhouse gas emissions caused indirectly by your supply chain and vendors related to your business activity.

Possible solutions:

Establish a plan to reduce emissions across your supply chain.
Achieve more sustainable sourcing with optimized supply chain emissions.
Account for the supply chain emissions you can’t reduce with offset

Renewable Electricity Strategies

Onsite solar is a great option if you have the physical space and needs, and Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) or Energy Attribute Certificates (RECs) allow you to include renewables in your energy mix, regardless of your physical plant.

If you are already focused on evaluation of opportunities to reduce Scope 2 emissions, we can help there too:

Target Setting and Alignment
Comprehensive Scope 2 Roadmap
Implementation Planning

I’m making little to no progress in decarbonization. How do I know where to start?

I’m struggling to get buy-in from leadership on prioritizing decarbonization. Is this typical?

Where can I get help if I already have a corporate sustainability plan but need to implement it?

What is the GHG protocol, and what are some ways to shrink my carbon footprint across all three scopes?
